The left's campaign to impeach Donald Trump will not just be a fantasy if Democrats sweep into Congress next year. You may have noticed an advertisement running on several news channels that was paid for by Tom Steyer, who has been working for years to dismantle the Republican majority in Congress and the presidency of Donald Trump. The stones are being laid onto a path toward impeachment for Spring of 2019 and there won't be much Trump or Republicans can do about it with a Democrat majority.

The fake collusion narrative has exploded with Mueller's indictments, even though no links have been directly made to Donald Trump himself. That won't stop the left's campaign to remove Trump from office, as we have seen in Tom Steyer's advertisement that I will encourage you to watch before reading any further.

It is of importance to
note that Tom Steyer himself, on his Youtube page, has disabled the
visibility of his video's ratings, making it impossible for us to see
how many dislikes his commercial has received. Had his campaign been
a success so far, he would be proud to show off an abundance of likes
that vastly outnumber dislikes—but this in not the case. Steyer has
also disabled comments on his repugnant ad—an ad which aims to undo
the results of an election decided by the American people.

If Democrats sweep to a
majority in the House—or both—it won't matter how successful
Steyer's impeachment campaign is, because it will become the
Democrats' major priority in 2019. If Democrats happen to achieve
sweeping majorities in both houses of Congress, Donald Trump's
presidency could end in 2019 by impeachment and conviction—which
would lead to removal from office. Although this is unlikely, it
could happen.

For those unfamiliar
with America's process, it is not as simple as a majority vote. To
this day, no American president has been removed from office by
impeachment and conviction. Impeachment is only the first process of
removal, which only levels charges of wrongdoing against a president
before going to the Senate for conviction. It is following a trial in
the Senate, which includes testimony and witnesses from both sides,
when a president is either convicted or acquitted. To convict, a
two-thirds majority is required.

In 1998, Bill Clinton
was impeached for perjury and obstruction by a Republican House, but
acquitted by Democrats in a Republican Senate in 1999. It was the
requirement for a two-thirds majority that allowed Clinton to be
acquitted.

Slim But Possible

Successfully removing
any president from office is near impossible without a strong Senate
majority by an opposing party. However, in America's current
political climate, anything is possible. With senators like John
McCain—who is not due to retire until 2022—the possibility of
Republicans voting to convict Trump following an impeachment by a
Democrat House is very possible.

If Democrats carve out
a slim majority in the Senate, Trump will need all the Republican
friends he can get. If they manage to carve out a strong 55 seat
majority, Trump will be in trouble if he makes too many Republican
enemies.

If Trump continues to
ratchet up hostility among Republicans anywhere in Congress, they
could turn on him with the hopes of having a better working
relationship with Mike Pence. After the 2018 mid-terms, the Senate
will be where the Trump presidency lives or dies.

The likelihood of
Republicans turning on their own president is slim to none, as it
could come with fatal political consequences and backlash, but it
should not be ruled out. With a strong Democrat majority in the
Senate, backed by a Democratic majority in the House, only a few
“mavericks” in the Republican Party could end the Trump
presidency—mavericks just like John McCain, who have nothing to
lose because they plan on retiring rather than seeking re-election.

How It Could Happen

At this time next year,
the entire House Of Representatives and more than 30 Senate seats
will be up for grabs in the mid-term elections. If Democrats sweep
into a majority in the House, Donald Trump will be impeached for all
of the reasons mentioned in Tom Steyer's television ad. If Democrats
take a majority in the Senate, Trump could be convicted and removed.

If Trump's Republican
enemies survive in the Senate, a slim Democrat majority could be
enough to achieve a 65% vote to convict Donald Trump on charges laid
by the House Of Representatives.

Tom Steyer's petition
to impeach Donald Trump has reached one million as of the moment this
is being published. The latest opinion polls (if we trust those) put
the Democrats in the lead nationally on a generic ballot. We
shouldn't trust CNN polls, but if they do offer any indication of
things to come, they show Democrats with a 16% lead over
Republicans—54%
to 38%.

If CNN's latest poll is
correct, there should be some jitters among Republicans. It will take
more polls to determine whether Republicans should brace for a
stunning defeat next year, but if they do face a stunning defeat,
Donald Trump's presidency will be in deep trouble.

First Democrats will
put forward a motion to impeach Trump inside of the House Of
Representatives if they hold a majority. Then, a Democratic Senate
will hold trials and vote along party lines—no matter how sparse or
lacking the evidence against Trump might be. This happened with Bill
Clinton and it would most definitely happen against Donald Trump.
Democrats and some Never Trump Republicans should not be expected to
vote without prejudice to acquit Donald Trump.

If Democrats fail to
win a majority in the Senate but win the House, Trump will be
impeached but not removed from office. This would be the same
situation that faced Bill Clinton in 1999.

What Are The
Chances?

The chances of
achieving a 55 seat win for Democrats in the Senate is slim, but if
Democrats organize and Republicans fail to muster enthusiasm among
their base, it could be very possible. Republicans have a slim window
of opportunity to pass tax reforms—or achieve a big legislative
win—in order to improve their numbers. If they fail, there will be
no reason for Americans to trust Republicans and give them another
chance.

Even though they have
held a majority in Congress, the Republicans have failed to repeal
Obamacare, reform immigration, fund a border wall and agree on tax
reform. If Americans don't see a Republican Congress and a Republican
president achieve any important victories between now and next year,
there will not be any enthusiasm to stay on the present path.

If Republicans fail to
achieve anything, Americans will vote for change on November 6, 2018.
That lack of achievement and thirst for change could lead to Donald
Trump's impeachment and removal from office if Republicans aren't
careful—even if it's not what Republicans wanted or intended. If
Donald Trump is successfully removed from office by Democrats,
Republicans will lose his very loyal base of supporters and be doomed
for years to come.
